You can not see the track from the beach, as it is very far towards the back of the lake. I am sure you will be welcome to rip around!

    I should have looked here this morning, oh well, I spent a garage day working on the WR, I fabbed up a rear rack for it . then got the mini ready for tomorrow.

    I am guessing you are refering to the races at hamilton tomorrow ?

    Re: Winter coming ICE RIDING

    Good time yesterday even with the hole that popped up to flood part of the track. The ride home was interesting. At least when we did get on the highway PK took a 2 hour nap Jim however is the worst backseat driver after a few. Every exit was his and he wanted me to take it. He seemed to think we were racing everyone on the highway so he kept telling me to floor it. When I would pass someone he would be satisfied until the next exit.

    Great day! 4 Zombies later not so good day today. I was so effed up I couldn't even play Big Buck Hunter. "Here Pete you kill shit" and I handed him the shotgun.

    I got home unloaded all the shit put 2 bikes away and was in bed by 7:30pm. Woke up this morning wondering how the fuck all my shit got put away. I asked my girl if she did it and she said no, it was all done when I got home and you were in been snoring so loud I had to sleep on the couch.

    YIKES.

    You'll need a plow. Some small holes had formed in the warm weather last week and flooded the track. It's a little narrow too, you need to be very accurate to go fast, as the run off is now a frozen snow bank. Fun lay out though. Should be great if we can make it wider and keep it groomed. I may go on Saturday and bring the kids.

    Re: Winter coming ICE RIDING

    I'll be back this weekend. The holes formed in the ice after the weather started getting cold again. They flooded out one corner completely and a little bit in another so we were taking some cuts through the snow just to be safe and ride the good sections. Not sure it'll be all firmed up by tomorrow. I hear something about more snow coming too. I met a guy that lives on the lake but his plow is broken and he needs to get it welded. The faster we can get the snow cleared off when it falls the better shape we should be in for this weekend.

    Oh, and try not to ride on the ice rink near the boat ramp, it screws it up for the hockey guys.

    Supposed to get a good dumping tonight tomorrow. Keep this thread rolling and if I can.. I can come by with my snowblower. My quad winch is broke and I need to swap it out with another one I have... If i get it done then I can bring quad and plow by to help clean it up for this weekend.

    Let me know

    You guys have a left/right road race course on Gorham, or an oval?

    I've been heading up to VT to ride on a nice course up there, but its on helluva drive each way. I can bring a snowblower this weekend to help clear the track.

    Re: Winter coming ICE RIDING

    I have a snowblower too, but I'm not sure those will do the trick. I guess it's better than nothing but I'd imagine it'd be really time consuming even with three or four of them.

    Re: Winter coming ICE RIDING

    If we have 2 or three plows Scotty has one I can get one, and Jay knows a guy. With 3 plows get there early and go to town it'll take maybe an hour.

    I will head out on thursday to plow this latest snow.

    Scotty you in? I have 3 snowblowers lined up plus Hardcore is coming with his snowmobile, so we have a sled and I have a trailer to get the snowblowers out to the track. I need snowblowers and bodies with them. If we can get 4 snowblowers going we can have the track cleaner quicker than with the plow.
